  • the conveyor track is formed by a Doppelgurt conveyor belt known from assembly lines, on which the support elements rest and are moved along by friction frictional connection. To stop the support elements at certain points of friction between the support elements and the double belt conveyor belt is canceled.
  • This device is much simpler than a conventional chain conveyor (power-and-free system) and can also be used economically for conveying small and light parts.
  • the document WO 2004/028929 A2 discloses a drive transfer device having a guide defining a drive transfer path; and a plurality of drive transfer members which are captively movable in the guide, wherein the drive transfer members can transfer the drive between discrete parts of the guide.
  • the guide has a pair of guide portions spaced from one another to define a channel therebetween.
  • the drive guide members are captively movable in the channel. The channel allows access to one or more of the drive transfer links.
  • the document DE 3917630 A1 discloses a transport adapter with the features of the preamble of claim 1, and describes a device for the suspended transport of objects, in particular garments, by a treatment device.
  • the transport is usually carried out in different relative positions of the garments to the conveying direction.
  • the change of direction of the garments requires in known devices differently shaped conveyors along the conveyor line. This presents problems when transferring the stirrups from one conveyor to the other.
  • the conveying path consists of a single guide rail track with a plurality of carriages movable thereon for attaching the garments on the hangers.
  • the carriages allow, despite a single guide rail track, a reorientation of the direction of the garments, without being transferred from one conveying direction to the other.
  • the device is particularly suitable for transporting articles of clothing to be smoothed through a tunnel.
  • a suspension conveyor in which conveyed goods are slidably movable along a conveying path on a guide rail. Furthermore, a switch is provided, at which a conveyor line opens longitudinally into a further conveyor line.
  • each transport hanger one along a support profile having movable carriage, wherein the carriage has support elements which are designed as skids or wheels.
  • the DE 83 17 424 U1 shows a hanger rail for transporting goods, in particular for the transport of slaughtered animals, having a pair of rails, which forms a guide slot, wherein in the guide slot, a load hook is used, which is provided with a support disc, which is supported on the rail top.
  • the transport system comprises a transport rail and a plurality of so-called roll adapters.
  • the roll adapters are slidably mounted in the rail and have a protruding from the rail holding device on which, for example, hangers can be hung.
  • the roll adapters have at a opposite end of the holding device on a driver which engages in a drive chain which is arranged in the rail.
  • the roll adapter has only one pair of rollers, which is mounted oscillating in the rail.
  • prior art overhead conveyor systems often include empty adapter magazines.
  • An empty adapter magazine is used for collecting temporarily unused (empty) roll adapters dropped into a sort of collection bucket.
  • a vibrating trough is arranged to align unused roll adapter by jogging and returned to the conveyor line circuit, ie to infiltrate into the rail.
  • the roll adapter Since the roll adapters have a not inconsiderable weight due to the roles and since the tub must be sufficiently large to accommodate possibly even several thousand roll adapter can, the roll adapter can be damaged during removal from the conveyor line, if they fall into an almost empty tub or fall unfavorably on another roll adapter, which is already in the tub. If the tub is full, a great pressure is exerted on those roll adapters which lie in the tub below, namely by the weight of the overlying roll adapter. These conditions help the roll adapters, and especially their rollers, wear out quickly and are easily broken. Therefore, it is possible for a roll adapter to break while in the conveyor line. This in turn increases the risk of congestion in the conveyor system.
  • rollers of the roll adapters which extend substantially in a running or conveying direction, have a considerable length (diameter), the roll adapters can only be removed via elongated, curved branches from the main conveyor line.
  • the size of the rollers determines a minimum radius of a branch. Corresponding angles are usually in the order of 10 ° to 40 °.
  • plastics are preferably used.
  • the plastics should have the lowest possible lubricity (0.2 or smaller), so that the gradient required on a conveyor line can be kept as low as possible (preferably less than 6% gradient).
  • the driver section is designed such that the movement (entrainment) of the adapter along a main conveying direction and transversely (laterally) thereto, preferably arbitrarily obliquely to the main conveying direction, can take place.
  • the sliding body has an upper side, which faces the driver section, and a lower side, which faces the guide section, wherein the upper side and the lower side are designed for slidingly displaceable mounting in an intermediate space in profile elements of the rail.
  • the transport adapter of the present invention completely dispenses with casters. This reduces the weight. In addition, the susceptibility of the adapter to damage is reduced. This in turn reduces the risk of material flow congestion in the (suspended) conveyor system.
  • the adapter is simple in its design and has no unnecessary additional components, such as e.g. Rollers and associated bearings, which complicate assembly and maintenance of the adapters.
  • the production costs are correspondingly lower.
  • the production of the adapter is much easier.
  • the adapters of the present invention are more durable, lower wear and less expensive.

  • discharges can be made at almost any angle.
  • a planner for conveyor systems is so in terms a route completely free.
  • a branch can be made anywhere at any angle. This represents a considerable relief in designing a suspended conveyor.
  • the removal can be significantly simplified in that the driver portion both in the main conveying direction and, for example, when laterally discharged, can be taken laterally to it.
  • the driver portion may provide a defined engagement surface for entrainment by a traction device in any direction.
  • a movement entrainment can take place essentially in any direction along a (transport) plane.
  • the plane can basically have a horizontal and / or inclined course.
  • the slider with its top and bottom can be embraced on both sides of a rail with at least partially U-shaped cross section. In this way, an excellent guide in the rail can result, Thus, for example, a "tipping" of the adapter in the rail during acceleration or deceleration can be largely avoided.
  • the cam portion extends in the longitudinal direction, adjoins the sliding portion and is preferably a continuation of the guide portion which is interrupted by the sliding portion.
  • Such a geometric design of the adapter facilitates production of an injection molding tool for the production of the adapter itself.
  • the adapter is stable in itself. Structural vulnerabilities are avoided. Predetermined breaking points are not available.
  • Such an adapter is durable and low-wear.
  • the sliding body has a substantially rectangular, preferably square, base surface.
  • a rectangular one Forming the base of the slider has the advantage that the adapter when inserting into a rail of the overhead conveyor hardly have to be aligned, so that they fit into the rail.
  • such adapters which are arranged one behind the other, can touch with a large area. This has the advantage that when a downstream adapter unintentionally disengages from the traction means, subsequent adapters can carry the adapter without the drive at that moment within the rail. Should, contrary to expectations, an adapter in a rail break, the edge surface can be used as a kind of battering ram to push fragments out of the rail, in particular the guide gap.
  • the base of the slider is usually provided with projections in order to minimize the effective contact surface between the slider and the rail, since the (sliding) friction is proportional to the contact surface.
  • the sliding body has an upper side facing the driver section, a lower side facing the guide section, and a peripheral edge surface which connects the upper side to the lower side, the lower side and / or the upper side respectively being at least has a projection extending substantially in the longitudinal direction.
